Signal words

Signal words (also known as linking words) are the 'signs' that help you find your way in a text

They tell us how different parts of the text are linked

Signal words are very important for reading!

words you know.

Some categories of signal words
  • Addition: something else is going to be added to what was already said.
  • Comparison: the writer is going to say how two things are the same.
  • Contrast: the writer is going to say how two things are different.
  • Time: information about when something happens, or in what order.
  • Example: the writer gives an example of what they are talking about.
  • Summary: the writer repeats the most important points of the text.
  • Explanation: the writer gives a reason why.
  • Conclusion/consequence: the writer says what message we should take from the text, or what will happen because of the things he's describing.
